Technological advances are now accelerating faster than ever
before. They’re blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and
biological domains. Technology’s pace of change has had a profound impact
across nearly every industry. These days it’s not enough to keep atop of emerging
technologies but to keep ahead of them. Organizations that fail to anticipate
these and other emerging trends risk a rapidly accelerating existential crisis.
As technology continues to evolve, we can expect it to
impact all aspects of our lives and society as a whole. The pace of innovation
is incredibly fast with new things being discovered daily. From advanced
robotics and artificial intelligence to augmented reality, disruptive
technologies and trends are driving how businesses get done in the years to
come. Disruptive innovation is an innovation that creates a new market and
value network and eventually disrupts an existing market and value network,
displacing established market leaders and alliances. To get a sense of where
businesses should place their bets, we spoke with Jeremy Abelson, a recognized entrepreneur and investor in disruptive technologies, about what he sees most likely
affecting a wide variety of organizations as they undergo digital
transformations. Mr.Abelson gave us his top picks for what should be on your
radar, as well as some insights into the implications of adopting these
disruptive technologies.
